The idea behind this piece is to help the beginner fly fishing. The terms used and the basic methods used in fly fishing may be unfamiliar to the beginner at fly fishing, so we will commence from the very beginning. Therefore, if you are a beginner fly fishing person, please read on in order to become acquainted with fly fishing.
The instruments needed for fly fishing are usually called tackle, although if you want to be more specific about the type of tools you need, you can add the words "fly fishing". So, we use the phrase: "fly fishing tackle". Fly fishing tackle, or gear, basically consists of artificial flies, a fly rod, a fly reel and fly line. The way it works is: the fly is affixed to the line, which is wound around the reel, which is affixed to the rod or pole, which is used to cast the fly or other bait.
In order to be able to cast the fly as far as possible, the line needs to be a little heavier than other types of line, since a weight is used in other forms of fishing to achieve the same effect. Also, the artificial flies come in all kinds of shapes, sizes and colours to reflect real, live flies, depending on the species of fish the angler intends to catch.
In general, an artificial fly is made of hair, plastic, feathers, fabric, fur and many other types of material in order to ensure the flies resemble, as closely as possible, the insect or fly most commonly eaten by the particular sort of fish in that particular month or at that time of the day. This means that each fishing spot requires that you choose a certain kind of artificial fly that will look like the insects living in the area where your desired type of fish swim. Therefore, a type of fly used in one part of the region may not be as successful as you'd expect elsewhere.
There are variations in the classification of flies too. They fall into two basic overall categories, which are referred to as 'attractive' and 'imitative'. The imitative artificial flies resemble real insects, whereas the attractive ones only rely on colour or the reflection of light in order to attract fish without necessarily looking like the fish's natural prey.
Further sub-classifications are then used to sub-divide artificial fly fishing lures into: a] dry (looking like grasshoppers, dragonflies, etc. which float on or near the surface of the water); b] sub-surface (looking like larvae, pupae) and c] wet (looking like leeches and minnows and other small fish or fry).
The biggest difference between fly fishing and non-fly fishing is that fly fishing depends a lot on the weight of the line to carry the artificial lure to that part of the water where your fish are located, probably at a distance from the shore. The line is often camouflaged and hollow.
Non-fly fishing relies rather on the attached weight, usually made of lead, to draw the line off the reel and carry it forward to the right spot, where the weight will also take the bait or lure down to the feeding fish.
